" The main opposition group, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD), issued a statement that did not support the sanctions: “Venezuela is not a threat to anyone,” it said in response to the White House’s absurd claim that Venezuela posed an “extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security. And then there is the problem of Washington’s isolation in the hemisphere, which has certainly increased with this latest move."

A food line in Socialist Venezuela–

The economic climate is so bad in Venezuela today that people are eating cats, dogs and pigeons.
The Panama Post reported, via Townhall:

Ramón Muchacho, Mayor of Chacao in Caracas, said the streets of the capital of Venezuela are filled with people killing animals for food.

Through Twitter, Muchacho reported that in Venezuela, it is a “painful reality” that people “hunt cats, dogs and pigeons” to ease their hunger.

People are also reportedly gathering vegetables from the ground and trash to eat as well.

The crisis in Venezuela is worsening everyday due in part to shortages reaching 70 percent. This to go along with the world’s highest level of inflation.

The population’s desperation has begun to show, with looting and robberies for food increasing all the time. This Sunday, May 1, six Venezuelan military officials were arrested for stealing goats to ease their hunger, as there was no food at the Fort Manaure military base.

The week before, various regions of the country saw widespread looting of shopping malls, pharmacies, supermarkets and food trucks, all while people chanted “we are hungry.”

I'd like just one, principled "journalist" to ask Bernie Sanders "What went wrong in Venezuela https://t.co/WSbj4g9Uuo @realDonaldTrump

....and a country boy can survive.....

Seriously though, the cats n dogs part is terrible but pigeons ain't that bad. And I saw an episode of Bizzare Foods where Andrew Zimmern cooked pigeon with a well known chef in the city he was featuring...wanna say it was Philly but not a 100%/sure.

There is NO reason, (but evil greed & corruption), for a country that is so rich in natural resources, for people to go hungry!
And that includes Mexico.

Ugh. It is all over small news sites on YouTube about toilet paper.
Sadly.. That may get the worlds attention quicker than Venezuela starving

This is like a bad flashback.. Of the 60's & 70's.. And what I remember about Communism & the stories of people who experienced it. sad2

Venezuela hikes minimum wage 30 percent amid economic crunch:

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's president is ordering a 30 percent increase in the minimum wage, the latest move by the socialist government to grapple with high inflation and economic stagnation

May 01, 2016

The boost announced Saturday night by President Nicolas Maduro comes after a 25 percent increase on March 1. The new increase is effective Sunday, which is International Labor Day, and will push the minimum wage to 15,051 bolivars a month. That is about $1,500 at the official exchange rate, but is around $50 at the current black market rate, which largely sets prices of goods for Venezuelans.

Venezuela's oil export-dependent economy shrank 5.7 percent last year, shortages of basic goods multiplied and prices soared. The government has instituted rolling blackouts and state employees are working only two days a week to conserve electricity.

Socialism at worklaugh


WOA shocked You seen all this coming a year ago.. :thumbsup:
